Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 1971 Mercury Montego MX is finished in red and features a custom paint job that enhances the car’s already bold factory styling. Long body lines, a wide stance, and the signature front-end design give the Montego a commanding road presence representative of early 1970s American muscle. Adding to its distinctiveness are the triple pod taillights and original rear spoiler, both of which help separate this MX from more ordinary intermediates of the period. Aftermarket wheels provide a more aggressive stance while complementing the coupe’s muscular proportions, and front disc brakes offer improved stopping capability compared to older drum brake setups. The interior of this 1971 Mercury Montego MX is finished in black and retains the classic driver-focused layout that made these cars such enjoyable cruisers. A Grant GT steering wheel adds a sporty touch to the cabin while improving driver feel and appearance. An aftermarket gauge cluster has also been fitted, giving the driver access to more detailed engine and vehicle information while enhancing the custom character of the car. The spacious cabin design, wide seating surfaces, and classic dashboard styling make this Montego a comfortable and nostalgic place to spend time behind the wheel.
Engine
Under the hood of this 1971 Mercury Montego MX sits a 351ci Cleveland V8 breathing through a 2-barrel carburetor. The Cleveland platform remains one of Ford’s most respected V8 engine families thanks to its strong performance potential, durable construction, and broad aftermarket support. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic transmission, creating an easy-driving combination ideal for cruising and weekend drives. Front disc brakes improve confidence during braking situations, while the V8’s signature rumble and smooth torque delivery provide the authentic muscle car experience enthusiasts seek from a classic Mercury of this era.
The 1972 Mercury Montego MX Brougham sits at the more luxurious end of Mercury’s midsize lineup, blending early-1970s American styling with a comfortable grand-touring character. Showing approximately 79,076 miles, this example pairs its upscale Brougham trim with a 351ci V8, automatic transmission, power steering, power front disc brakes, and air conditioning. Finished in yellow with a white vinyl roof and white interior, it carries the formal look that defined Mercury’s more premium offerings of the period, while features such as the Flight Bench seat, woodgrain interior trim, and Brougham-specific detailing give it plenty of period personality.

Mercury is one of those old marques that have been axed due to budget restraints and insufficient sales. Founded in 1938 as Ford’s top-end line-up offering catering to the affluent market, Mercury saw success, especially with its Cougar and Montego models. Produced under three generations, the Mercury Montego debuted in 1968 stopped production in 1976 and resumed from 2004 to 2007. It was a counterpart to the Ford Torino. Up for grabs is a two-door hardtop 1969 Mercury MX with a slew of new parts and performance upgrades.
The 1970 Mercury Cougar Restomod takes the long-hood, hidden-headlamp attitude of Mercury’s upscale pony car and turns the performance dial far beyond anything offered when new. Showing just 3,509 miles, this build is finished in Metallic Pearl Red over a fully reupholstered Saddle Brown leather interior and centers around a built 572ci V8 with electronic fuel injection, backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The transformation extends well beyond the engine bay, with 4-wheel disc brakes, a custom intake system, Vintage Air climate control, a functional hood scoop, custom leather seating, updated instrumentation, and a substantial high-end audio system. According to the current owner, the Cougar was originally equipped with an M-code 351ci V8, making its evolution into this big-cube restomod all the more dramatic. This is the kind of build that preserves the unmistakable character of a classic Cougar while adding the power, comfort, and detail expected from a thoroughly modernized muscle car.

The 1951 Mercury is one of the most iconic foundations in American custom car culture, forever associated with the legendary lead sled movement and some of the most memorable custom builds ever created. This particular 1951 Mercury 8 Series 1CM is far more than a restored classic—it’s a deeply reengineered custom build that combines traditional custom car artistry with meaningful mechanical modernization. Built on a Chevrolet frame and showing off a dramatic 5-inch chopped top, this Mercury captures the unmistakable silhouette that made customized early-1950s Mercurys so desirable. The extensive modifications elevate this car beyond simple nostalgia, creating a machine that blends classic custom aesthetics with significantly improved drivability, comfort, and reliability. For collectors of true custom Americana, this is exactly the type of car that defines a garage.
This 1992 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 takes the lightweight Fox-body formula and turns the performance dial well past stock. Showing approximately 80,783 miles, this example is powered by a 347ci stroker V8 with Edelbrock electronic fuel injection and backed by a Tremec 3550 5-speed manual transmission. Twisted Wedge cylinder heads, upgraded valve springs, an Edelbrock EFI intake manifold, heavy-duty water pump, and aftermarket engine-management components all point to a build centered on stronger naturally aspirated performance. Add in SVE wheels, Nitto NT555 tires, upgraded brakes, and an aftermarket exhaust, and this LX becomes the kind of modified Fox-body that speaks directly to Mustang enthusiasts.
This 1967 Citroën 2CV Coupe is a charming example of one of France’s most recognizable postwar automobiles, a car designed around simplicity, economy, and clever engineering rather than excess. Showing approximately 43,099 miles, this example is finished in Bleu Mésange over a Tissu Bleu cloth interior and retains the unmistakable 2CV formula with a 425cc air-cooled flat-2, 4-speed manual transmission, and front-wheel drive. Its full-length roll-back fabric roof, unconventional shifter, and supple interconnected suspension give it the kind of personality that has made the 2CV such an enduring favorite among European-car enthusiasts.
This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible Restomod takes one of the most celebrated shapes in American sports-car history and updates the experience underneath without losing the visual drama that made the C2 Corvette iconic. Showing approximately 65,888 miles, this example pairs its Victory Red exterior and black interior with a modern 5.7L LS1 V8, electronic fuel injection, and a 4-speed manual transmission. Vintage Air climate control, Dakota Digital RTX instrumentation, upgraded suspension components, modernized braking hardware, and aftermarket wheels move the driving experience well beyond a stock early Corvette while preserving the low-slung roadster proportions enthusiasts immediately recognize.
